‘Deadliest Catch’ captain Phil Harris dies at age 53
Never saw his TV show but he was great as the voice of Baloo in The Jungle Book!

Say hi to Bing Crosby in hell!
The last place I worked, I kept my James D. Watson bobblehead on a cubicle divider, next to a Spongebob bobblehead that belonged to a colleague.
Everyone who saw these two guys recognized Spongebob, but not one person ever recognized James D. Watson.
I mean, they knew it was someone named James D. Watson because his name is right there on the base, but despite the fact that he’s holding a double helix structure, nobody recognized him as James D. Watson, Nobel Laureate and co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule.
(Ironically, one of the main reasons I got into software development was the opportunity to work with smart, educated people.)
I brought Watson with me to the place I work now, but unfortunately I accidentally knocked him off a credenza one morning and his head broke off. I tried a couple of times to glue it back on but it didn’t take. So I had to throw him away.
The real James D. Watson is actually still alive at age 80.
My wife’s car has preference settings for each driver. When I drive it, I get in, push a button, and the seat moves into position automatically — no manual effort required
“In the future, people are going to be really fat,” my son says.
“People are pretty fat now,” I point out.
“They’re going to be fatter because they don’t have to do anything.”
“George Jetson isn’t fat.”
“He’s kind of fat.”
“He’s not fat.”
“Maybe I’m thinking of Fred Flintstone.”
“Fred Flintstone is fat, but he’s from the past — which kind of discredits your theory, if you think about it.”
